World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

To any outside observer it looks like Iran has won this war, complete with reparations from the US.
I’m sure Israel will blow this deal up though.
Bibi is already pummeling Beirut
israel/trump/benjamin has a vested interest in keeping it going. it keeps netanyahu out of jail, and trump out of the epstein files in the news.
They already bombed Lebanon today, likely to try and derail it again.
Yup, was just going to comment this. Bombs right on time to try and kill any ongoing negotiations. Israel is not a friend to the US, and trump clearly has no control over the situation. Shit, trump going into this nightmare at netanyahoo's request is so on brand for the moron magats and trump.
The US simply has to restrict weapons and money to Israel. Bush senior did it and froze a 10 billions loan
Iran won the war when they dint bend like venezuela did in the first hours of this nonsensical operation. There is nothing the USA can win out of this confict, they are just losing power everywhere..
they underestimated that iran can FIGHT BACK, and they stockpiled tons of missiles, venezuela was practically defenseless.
Yeah, does anyone think Iran will stop suffering?
who started and is continue this conflict: USA and israel, just to keep epstein out of the news. iran is no saint, but they arnt the aggressors in this conflict.
Agreed. And innocent Iranians will continue to suffer.
Sadly no. But having just their government to deal with, instead of being squashed starved and slaughtered between the two is a minor improvement.
I’m not even convinced USA and Israel won’t find a way to make them suffer. Both seem to love genocide.
Sorry, is there something wrong with genocide? Fucking antisemites everywhere these days.
All states do ultimately. Unfortunately too many states have far too many cheerleaders.
No, the people of Iran are between a rock and a hard place.
But I think people can maintain a cause in defence of themselves longer than the US can maintain their offensive.
The US just hit critically low oil levels where it’s impossible to continue depleting them. They’ve reached low enough levels using pipelines are threatened by being able to maintain pressure.
The US now has to decide if they want to lose internal oil transport and shut down infrastructure. All right before midterms.
The war is won by either side only when Iran inflicts a permanent defeat on its enemies, or it ceases to be a functional state. Any deal in between, if it even goes through, will only postpone the resumption of the war, as it has been for what, about the last 45 years.
I would guess Iran is holding out to cripple the Israelis. The fact the Zios aren't just taking what they've won and going home until next time is evidence they're jot just evil, they're all fucking insane. Letting this go on once the conquest of Lebanon slows down is so fucking stupid.
I think you can make a lot of legitimate critiques of the Israeli state, but suggesting g they can't be trusted to hold to a treaty? No. That's just totally baseless antisemitism.
This has to be sarcasm of the deepest kind.
Baseless, really? Israel have shown themselves to be a bunch of perfidious schmucks since the inception of their state 70 years ago. They can't be trusted to hold even a ceasefire with Palestine/Lebanon/Iran and have repeatedly attacked during negotiations.
Your cry of antisemitism has worn out at this stage through ridiculous overuse and hyperbole. The only thing Israel has shown lately is that they have no honour or morality.
Oh so we should just base our judgement of Israel on the thing they have done literally every single time for their entire existence and 'the protocols of the elders of zion'? But you're not an antisemite? Fucking troll.
Tanking any ceasefire is literally in Israel's best interest. Their goal is the elimination of Iran as a regional power. They don't want to help Trump get out of this war, they want him to fully commit to it. American boots on the ground is the best possible outcome for them.
